Wessex Water Sewer Flooding Incidents 2020-2026

The overall objective of this use case is to pro-actively publish data that is regularly requested via Environmental Information Regulation Requests (EIRRs). By supplying data about sewer flooding incidents, we believe that we can reduce requests for localised sewer flood data. This could have an advantageous effect on costs incurred by the companies who manage such requests. Data Quality/Consistency/Verification The data will be verified by each publishing company. The data will include reportable incidents only. The assessment of external flooding may not be standard across companies. Our IncidentId may be duplicated across rows as multiple properties in the same incident are logged separately; as such our value in all rows for ‘Number of properties affected’ equals 1.
